Le lys d'or (1910)
Short
Although the IMDb page reads "Louis Feuillade -Leonce Perret " ,the copy I saw credits only the latter.A poor musician enters a church where he plays the violin in front of a statue of the Virgin.The Madonna comes to life and gives a golden lily to the poor man ;he tries to sell it and this arouses the suspicion of the goldsmith ;the action takes place in the middle ages and at the time,he could be considered a sorcerer.The villagers ask him to return to the church and to do it again...This is a very naive story ,inspired by a religious spirit but far- fetched .Even in Lourdes ,people did not see what Bernadette saw. The old man ,in the final scenes ,is almost treated as the messiah ,and the people look like the Jews of Jerusalem on Palm Sunday.
